Leftover Idli Upma

The title is leftover idli upma because leftover idli the next day will become stale and can be easily powdered, if you are cooking with fresh idlis, freeze them for an hour and then use them.

This is one of those dishes which is very easy to cook and will easily become one of your favorite breakfasts, its healthier than most breakfasts and also so tasty.

There are many methods of preparing a idli upma, for example some prepare it by adding idli podi instead of chili and curry leaves. This recipe is one of my favorites and I hope you try it once. Serve it with idli podi, you will find a recipe for podi here
